One mont he looked human, the next he resembled a wild boar with a long snout and large ears.
Such was the disturbance that neighbors and relatives began saying their family had married into a monster, and their reputation worsened as word spread, causing relatives to keep their distance.
Outsiders spoke of how unfavorably the family viewed him, how the old patriarch grew increasingly haggard, and began to entertain thoughts of driving the monster away.
However, when the monster got angry, he straightaway captured Cuilan, locking her in the Gao Family's backyard and forcefully took over.
Helpless, the old patriarch could only search everywhere for mages, monks, and Taoists to capture the monster. Alas, all who ca were nothing but drunkards and frauds, boasting greatly but all were knocked down by the pig monster when confronted.
The pig monster even declared boldly that within a hundred miles of Gao, no monk or Taoist was allowed; any found would be beaten.
Just when the old patriarch had lost all hope and given up, he unexpectedly encountered Tang Sanzang and his group.
Thus, the old patriarch was so excited, he visited their door to invite them for a al.
Pointing towards his ho, the old patriarch said, "Monk, there isn't much to offer in this little shop of ours, why not move to my humble ho and sit awhile?"
Tang Sanzang followed the direction pointed by the old patriarch and could vaguely see a grand mansion and the corner of a pavilion. Yet that corner, in Tang Sanzang's eyes, looked different than it did to ordinary people. There was a familiar aura lingering around it; he couldn't rember whose it was, but he felt it was extrely important!
Tang Sanzang asked, "Who lives there?"
The old patriarch sighed, "That is exactly where Cuilan is imprisoned."
Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, his bright mind working quickly, pondering whether this very important woman was perhaps his forr wife?
Besides that, he truly couldn't think of any other woman he deed so important...
So, putting down his chopsticks, he asked, "What does she look like?"
Before the old patriarch could respond, Gao Cai said, "Our young mistress naturally possesses beauty that can overwhelm cities and topple kingdoms!"
Bang!
Tang Sanzang slamd the table, leaned forward, and pointing at himself, he asked the old patriarch, "You despise that pig, so how about having as your son-in-law?"
"What?!" The old patriarch was utterly dumbfounded.
Before he could regain his composure, the bald man was already dragging him outside while asking, "If you're not speaking, I'll take that as a yes. Let's first go to et her... ahem, to have a matchmaking eting.
If there's no problem, we can hold the wedding tomorrow."
In the backyard, White Dragon Horse, who had been stealing food, nearly cried when he heard this. He quickly ran over, biting Tang Sanzang's trouser leg and cried, "Master, we are monks, still on a pilgrimage to the West for the True Scriptures. If you get married...how can we continue?"
Tang Sanzang nonchalantly said, "The life of a mortal passes in a fleeting mont. Besides, this old man ntioned it, didn't he? Find soone to care for him in his old age. Once I have served him to the end, we can take our wife and children to the West for the Scriptures! By then, we will have a dozen or twenty more hands to help.
Moreover, fetching the Scriptures doesn't have a ti limit; we can spare a few years..."
"Master, the precepts, the precepts! Your virtue is lacking; even if we go to the Western Heavens, you won't receive the True Scriptures," reasoned White Dragon Horse. He was very clear that he absolutely couldn't let this bald trickster start in this decadent manner; otherwise, how would they ever reach the Western Heavens and obtain the True Scriptures? If he can't get the True Scriptures, he needs to serve as this trickster's horse for life, and what's worse, he would have to watch him flirting and enjoying fine foods every day while he remained single and ate fodder!
Such a life would be worse than death!
Thus, White Dragon Horse plucked up all his courage, clinging to the trickster's legs and desperately pleading.
Tang Sanzang casually replied, "If they won't give it to us, can't we just snatch it? Don't worry, we can certainly snatch it."
White Dragon Horse was speechless. Rob Mount Spirit? Had this bald trickster gone mad?
Yet thinking of the bald trickster's fearso combat abilities, it just might be possible...
But he didn't want to be cannon fodder!
The White Dragon Horse exclaid, "Master, hear out..."
"Off you go!" With a lift of his foot, a white horse soared into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and said, "Finally, so peace and quiet. Father-in-law, shall we go?"
Old Master Gao was on the verge of tears, feeling as if he had just crawled out of a pigsty and fallen into a livestock pen.
This bald thief wanted him gone with just a word, fiercer than even the pig demon!
Alas, faced with this formidable, ruthless bald man who didn't hesitate to strike down his own disciple, he didn't dare retort and could only follow with a bitter face.
They soon arrived at the Gao Family residence.
The closer they got to the Gao Family, the stronger Tang Sanzang felt the urge, a burning impatience that couldn't wait even a second.
Thus, without waiting for Old Master Gao to open the door, he pushed it open and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Wife, where are you? I've co to see you!"
Hearing this, Old Master Gao bitterly smiled to himself: Why does this sound so familiar?
It was exactly what the pig demon had said upon entering!
His heart cooled by half in an instant.
Just then, an old woman ran out, crying loudly, "You pig demon, don't go too far! If it really cos to it, I'll fight you!"
But upon seeing that the one who had entered was a clean, shiny monk, her whole person was a bit dumbfounded. She looked at Old Master Gao with questioning eyes, and he sighed, "Alas... what a sin!"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Tang Sanzang turned and grabbed Gao Cai, asking, "Where is your Third Miss?"
Gao Cai dared not conceal it and pointed to the attic in the backyard, "There..."
Tang Sanzang nodded and strode over. The back door was locked with a big padlock, but it seed as if the monk didn't see it; with a casual push, the lock exploded...
This scene had the Gao Family trembling with fright, and they dared not resist any further.
Only Old Master Gao gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and shouted, "Monk, we haven't even had the ceremony yet, you're too hasty! Maybe slow down a bit?"
Tang Sanzang could not wait any longer, waved his hand and said, "When love is true, rituals are futile, no need for a ceremony, we're making a baby today!"
Having said that, Tang Sanzang closed the main gate behind him: "Don't co in, just wait to hold your grandchild!"
Watching Tang Sanzang's retreating figure, the Gao Family mbers cried in misery, "What a sin..."
Tang Sanzang rubbed his hands together, chuckling and went upstairs.
His target, of course, was not Cuilan, but the thing emitting that familiar sensation.
But since he was there, not to agitate people would be unlike Tang Sanzang.
It would also betray the bully gene ingrained in his bones after eons of arduous cultivation.
The room was pitch black, without a single light, he groped in the dark to reach the second floor...
Tang Sanzang shouted, "Wife, I'm here..."
